Chicken Pasta/ Malabar Style Chicken Pasta

Pasta is my all-time favourite recipe. I love to make pasta in different ways by adding some veggies, eggs, and meats. This is one of my succeeded pasta recipe. Normally pasta is available with cheese, mayonnaise and tomato sauce in restaurants which we Indians won’t like much. Not for all of us, but a few people don’t like much and eat a little bit for the name sake. But if i prepared the pasta in Indian style, especially chicken pasta in Malabar style they will finish it in minutes. So today I’m teaching you how to prepare this chicken pasta in Malabar style. Kids love this pasta if you try different shapes and you an easily give some vegetables to kids.

As you all know pasta is a simple preparation that needs only minutes to make. Start to finish it takes only less than 20 minutes and of course you should have your pasta cooked before. It’s very flavourful and easy to make recipe with great taste and I’m sure this chicken pasta is definitely would suit any Indian taste buds. You can use any pasta variety you like such as fussili(the spiral), rotini, farfelle(bow),macaroni or even spaghetti or other pasta of your choice. I have used the cooked chicken shredded and mixed with a onion-tomatoes based masala pasta and mixed with the pre cooked pasta. I serve this as brunch, dinner and as well for lunch box
